No one should ever have to suffer from Peripheral Artery Disease and Neuropathy caused by poor circulation. Every dollar goes directly to helping to raise awareness for the importance of early testing, advanced treatment, and support of patients with PAD. We strive to facilitate expedited, comprehensive life and limb-saving care.

More than 50% of American adults have Pre-Diabetes/Diabetes and most don't know it until it reaches advanced stages and puts them at-risk of plaque build-up in their arteries (Cardiovascular Disease) and serious complications from viruses such as COVID-19 and the Flu. People in low socioeconomic areas are at higher risk of Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease and many don't have the money to pay for critical testing. Knowing is power. This test is quick and easy way to check blood glucose levels and to make sure their diet is benefiting their health.

The Lp-PLA2 test lets patients with cardiovascular disease know if the plaque lining their arteries is at-risk of breaking off and flowing downstream, leading to heart attack or stroke. Lp-PLA2 is a better marker for assessing arterial inflammation risk than hs-CRP, as LP-PLA2 is an independent risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.

Lipoprotein (a) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease that isn't revealed by standard cholesterol panels. Lp(a) is highly genetic, with 1 in 5 people inheriting high levels. This test incorporates a person's preconditions such as family history to provide them a comprehensive result they can use to take control of their health.

Smoking is a risk factor for Cardiovascular Disease. Many people smoke because of high stress and to suppress appetite. Coach Susan provides a comprehensive program to help people at highest risk receive the emotional support they need to reduce their tobacco use and improve their mindset & health. The moment someone quits smoking, the progression of plaque-build up in the arteries slows, helping them to live a better quality of life.

People who struggle with food insecurity or consume a nutrient-poor diet are at higher risk for developing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Through dietary changes, including a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, individuals can decrease their risk of disease and improve their state of health.

VitaBowl's mission is to create "Food as Medicine". By partnering with Dominique Crenn, the only female chef in America to attain three Michelin stars, VitaBowl can ensure the meals were not only nutritious but delicious.

Rice is a staple in many diets, especially in homes that are food-insecure. Rice is known to boost blood sugar which is not good for diabetic individuals. RightRice, made with the power of vegetables, is a protein packed, gluten free, vegan replacement for rice that is also low on the glycemic index. Through eating RightRice, individuals can consume more nutrients and decrease their risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Stress can lead to an inflammatory response in the body causing plaque to build-up along the artery walls. Many Cardiovascular Disease patients need real-time support to reduce stress & anxiety which exacerbates their symptoms. Stress reduction is especially important for people who work multiple jobs, have family responsibilities, experience financial struggles, and are in need of emotional support to improve their own health. Coach Susan offers 1:1 sessions with patients to help them understand their triggers and develop a healthy mindset.
